Course Overview

Children respond to emergencies differently from adults, and that changes what a first aider needs to do. This two-day course is designed for anyone working with infants and children who needs a solid, practical grounding in paediatric first aid.

Our trainer’s paramedic clinical background means paediatric emergencies are understood at a level beyond a standard trainer, giving delegates exceptional insight into why children respond differently and what that means in practice.

The course meets Ofsted requirements and EYFS framework standards for childcare providers.
